Grocery Store and Habitual Food

Well about once or twice a month my mother shops for groceries. At least one of those times she shop at a warehouse called "Costco", here they have a large amount of a food at a discount price. For example lets say a bag of chicken wings in a store like Path Mark are 10 dollars Costco's would sell the same bag, same brand for about 8 dollars. My mom always make sure to stock up on can goods, like green beans, collard greens, corn, lots of vegetable, while also buying meats staying away from pork. Most of the time she come back with chicken, & fish which are the two most meats that we eat in my house. She may also pick up fruits, like strawberries, apples, mangos, oranges, pears and that would last us throughout the month. If food begins to run low in my house she may go to the local supermarket, path mark, everything there is sometimes affordable but sometimes it is over priced.

From my experiences in grocery stores, many stores like costco send you coupons where you have a percentage off of a certain item or get an extra item for whatever you buy. In path mark i noticed that they have particular sales, for example soda sales where you get 3 cases of sodas for the price of one.
